MOSCOW, Aug 7. Sochi hockey club forward Dmitry Zavgorodniy spoke about the nuances of life in one of the most criminal cities in the United States. Since 2021, the forward has played for the Calgary Stockton Heat farm club in the American Hockey League (AHL). Stockton is one of the most dangerous cities in the US. About five thousand violent crimes are committed here a year. «It's dangerous there, there are a lot of gangsters, African-American bandits. We came to training, and after that we immediately went home and tried not to stick out. If it's dark, it's better not to go out at all. I was given a map : half of the city is marked in red, and the other half is green. You can’t go to the red, to the south, it’s very dangerous there, even the police don’t come there. 24. The athlete also recalled the incident with the biker gang. Hockey team locked in the locker room after the game. Bikers on the street staged a big convention and started a brawl. The players were taken to the cars under the supervision of the police. «Once a man climbed onto the roof of my teammates. They called the police, he immediately jumped off and ran away. All the guys from the team tried to rent houses and apartments in good areas and sat at home in their free time. If you want to do something, you can go to a neighboring city — near San Francisco and Sacramento,» the forward added.
